🚨 New Post 🚨
Oracy: What to teach, not how to teach

Why we need a substantive knowledge framework for Speaking and Listening that tells schools what to teach, not how to teach.

We are an unapologetically paper based reading solution.

No screens
No account admin
No fuss

Less tech and more text is the antidote a whole generation needs to begin to undo the damage of a screen based childhood.

We stand ready and willing to meet with @YvetteCooperMP and @LucyMPowell to explore the health and learning benefits of a daily dose of reading for every student in England. Every minute spent on a page instead of a screen should be celebrated loudly and proudly.

We (@LiteracyEngine) have been asked repeatedly by schools for an online platform to set homework and we repeatedly resist in favour of paper resources. In the drive against students using AI to outsource their thinking, paper and pen takes some beating.

@Bowtie_pedagogy This is the direction we want to take Debate Drive in! We want to include a provocative letter, article, speech etc that can stimulate discussion (or even response) in kind after analysis and background research. Watch this space!

[The Literacy Engine @LiteracyEngine]

There's still plenty of time to join us for next year and have your students start the day with some evidence based nonfiction reading.

Build background knowledge and develop oracy skills with our rich and varied weekly resources.

[The Literacy Engine @LiteracyEngine]

Make reading part of your students' daily routine next year by starting the day with knowledge rich non-fiction reading.
